Earlier in the trial, the court heard Mr Whyteside had been chasing the teenager moments before the attack and was seen to be wearing a knuckleduster.

The teenager, who denies a single charge of murder, was arrested and told police he had acted in self defence.

He later claimed to have been defending his mother, the court heard.

The jury has heard that two other men, William Owens, 41, and Gareth Owens, 39, both of Boulton Grange, Randlay, Telford, had admitted charges of affray after striking Mr Whyteside as he lay on the ground.
